Has anybody already looked at the new soundbank published today? For me it seems to have much more usable and creative programs than the last released soundbank. There are some interesting musical ideas (mostly for my own private playing pleasure). For an old guy like me the sounds marked with 69.. or 1982.. and the sounds with "Tape" in the name create a lot of nostalgic feelings. But also that Brandon used more than 1 split point (e.g. in Sitar Split) makes it interesting to study the sounds and to play with them.
It is very quiet in this Nord Wave Forum...
A Thank You from my side to Nord. This nice instrument would need much more attention from Nord.

I would be a bit cautious here. Not to discredit him, or that what I am about to say has anything to do with his music, but as far as programming structure goes, his Program pack for the Stage 3 was somewhat messy to be honest. Not in terms of sounds, but in terms of set up. The impression was that he tried a bunch of different routes to get the sound he was after, but then left all those doors opened with plenty of unused or redundant stuff. Which is OK if you're programming a sound, you finally find it and then you want to save it in a patch, but it's less appropriate for learning how to program, as you say here.

Not to mention that when it is being offered as an official release via Nord, you'd think they would want to make sure the patch structures were cleaned up so that they don't appear sloppy if people want to deconstruct them...
